"HealthTech 360 represents a pivotal moment in our journey towards a truly smart and globally competitive healthcare ecosystem," stated Al Mansouri.

We project that within the next five years, HealthTech 360 will contribute to a 25% reduction in chronic disease rates and a 15% increase in healthcare accessibility across the emirate."

The program’s comprehensive framework includes:

• Innovation Hubs: Establishing state-of-the-art facilities dedicated to research and development in health technology.
